Numbers 29:1-8

1 mensis etiam septimi prima dies venerabilis et sancta erit vobis omne opus servile non facietis in ea quia dies clangoris est et tubarum

2 offeretisque holocaustum in odorem suavissimum Domino vitulum de armento unum arietem unum agnos anniculos inmaculatos septem

3 et in sacrificiis eorum similae oleo conspersae tres decimas per singulos vitulos duas decimas per arietem

4 unam decimam per agnum qui simul sunt agni septem

5 et hircum pro peccato qui offertur in expiationem populi

6 praeter holocaustum kalendarum cum sacrificiis suis et holocaustum sempiternum cum libationibus solitis hisdem caerimoniis offeretis in odorem suavissimum incensum Domino

7 decima quoque dies mensis huius septimi erit vobis sancta atque venerabilis et adfligetis animas vestras omne opus servile non facietis in ea

8 offeretisque holocaustum Domino in odorem suavissimum vitulum de armento unum arietem unum agnos anniculos inmaculatos septem
